Beautiful view of Neuerburg

In the 18th century, the Austrian administration promoted the construction of glassworks in the Duchy of Luxembourg. In 1796, the glassworks was founded by Johann Dominik Laeis. Around 50 people were employed here, producing glass balloons, window glass, bottles and fine crystal glasses. There were two production periods from 1774 to 1811/12 and from 1843 to 1850/51. Production was finally stopped around 1850/51. Remains of the large round building with a diameter of 17m in which the glass furnace was located can still be seen. The melting furnace is said to have had a diameter of 5m. The wood for the furnace was brought to the furnaces by carts through a long corridor and the ash was transported out on the opposite side. Other buildings in the complex are the grinding shop with the narrow windows, behind each of which there was a grinding or cutting bench that was powered by a water wheel located in the neighboring mill wheel building. Also preserved are an administration building and the glass master’s house.

it is worth climbing the Beilstoren

There is a youth hostel in the old castle, which is well worth seeing. St. James pilgrims also receive a pilgrim stamp here.

From up here you have a wonderful view of Neuerburg. The short climb was definitely worth it.

The Neuerburgertunnel was part of the Pronsfeld-Neuerburg railway line, also known as the Enztalbahn, a branch line in the Eifel that ran from Pronsfeld station on the Westeifelbahn to Neuerburg. The route initially led uphill from Pronsfeld before following the River Enz from Arzfeld to Neuerburg. The railway opened on July 6, 1907, along with the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. During World War II, the routes were severely damaged and traffic did not resume until October 17, 1949. Passenger service on the branch line was discontinued on June 1, 1969, and freight service ceased on May 18, 1989. Today, the former route is used as part of the Enztal cycle path. The Neuerburg-Zweifelscheid cycle path was opened in 2002 and the Zweifelscheid-Arzfeld section in 2005. The rest of the route was extended to Lünebach in 2007 and connected to the cycle path on the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. Since the autumn of 2011, the cycle path has been completely asphalted.
